In your opinion Which item do you attribute to the results you got?Or could it be the combo?During the course of the treatment did you use any kind of diuretics or paracentesis or did things subside on their own with the treatment??

Re: IVC & Gluta?

Thx for your detailed information. I found your curezone post too. As for your other question there related to hyperglicemia, I don't know if you had any new insights since then but:

Quote:

May be the glucometer can’t differentiate between a glucose & ascorbic acid molecule that being the reason for the sudden significant rise.

Its actually known phenomena. If you search papers by T. Ely, you could inform yourself about correct measurement of glucose levels in respect to vitamin C meagadoses.

Quote:

The rise in blood sugar could be either due to the glucometer not being able to differentiate between the two……… if ascorbic acid molecule are ingested by the malignant cells as suggested than why a rise in blood sugar in cancer patients

It can also be due to the effect of vitamin C on the pancreas. Insulin delayed secretion even with small doses (1g or so) are documented. It has been hypothesized that vitamin C oxidized version competes with GLUT2 transporter but other ideas exist.

Thanks.

Both in there own ways.

1. Gluta for the effusions & ascites.........In my 7 years of using Gluta I have found it the most effective agent for resolving Plumonary edema, Pleural effusions & Ascites.....in so many patients that have treated it disappears in 2-3 days of daily treatment with Gluta.

2. IVC for its antiviral & antinflammatory effects. Dropping the amylase from 550 to 50 in 10 days.

3. NO diuretics or peritoneal tap or dialysis. Lasix causes more harm than good, personally am not in its favor.

That post at Curezone was when I had no clue why blood sugar rose after IVC.

Was new using IVC, the answer to that was some glucometers cannot differentiate btw glucose & ascorbic acid molecules, till I found glucometers that could.

When the blood sample of the same person was sent to the lab, it was lower than the readings before starting IVC.

That lady had advanced hep C (mentioned in Curezone post), this person with acute pancreatitis had effusions the one with hep C had none other than cirrhotic changes, splenomegaly, portal hypertension. Platelet count before treatment was 80,0000 which increased to 160,000 after 10 days.

the answer to that was some glucometers cannot differentiate btw glucose & ascorbic acid molecules

Like I said, that is the major reason although AA does have effect on pancreas, and that probably depends on context (like focal inflammation) and in all papers I did read authors stated that its not clear how (if) clinically important that phenomena is.

Re: IVC & Gluta?

At the moment am out of the country visiting other clinics. Had a word with our RN regarding the model, to which she replied it’s a Roche glucometer with specialized custom orders strips that they make for us. She is the one who found the solution to the false high readings. Has some chemical impregnated that differentiates between blood glucose & VC & probably destroys VC.

Interesting! Can you provide the typical difference in readings between the good and bad monitors? (I am wondering if a "bad" monitor could be used to do simple vitamin C testing.)

Re: IVC & Gluta?

This is not my area of expertise but I was told that "True Measure tech." type meters are the best for not getting bad readings due to other substances. I guess the abbott strips with this true measure tech. are made for other meters also.Anyway found this it's from their UK operation but gives some pretty detailed info.
